Our Eyes and Ears

“We feel very lucky to have "found" Ms. Maureen Cool through a random inquiry about a property that was listed on the internet. After meeting with Ms. Cool one time, she knew what we were looking for, our budget and what we expected our retirement home to be. Being 800 miles away, Maureen was our eyes and ears as she kept our best interest at heart and was there when we couldn't be. She found us a incredible property, which was a "short sale" and 10 months later, Maureen's dedication and persistence paid off !! In our eyes, we are now the proud owners of our "perfect piece of paradise" and we looking forward to our retirement years in Sebring !!! Her professionalism and her work ethic are outstanding and we would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Cool for any or all of your Real Estate needs.”

Tina Wallace, Sebring, FL

Attentive and Available

“You were very attentive, professional and willing to help. You called or returned our calls promptly, and that was very much appreciated. We requested pictures of the house. You sent them so quickly. That was very helpful. It was helpful we could get hold of you over the weekend. You did very well for us. Thank you!”

Celina Birecki, Sebring, FL

Caring and Honest

“Again, mahalo for all your help and honest advice. You seem to care about what is right for people and not just your commission. Mom is still set on buying something, but we have convinced her to get something less expensive so she can keep some cash to live on.”

Mark Elkhill, Hawaii

Integrity First

“We would like to thank you for contacting us about selling our lot. After talking with you on the phone when you made the two offers to us, my husband and I agreed that we felt the business that you represented was reputable and trustworthy. We had been contacted by other individuals previously but did not feel confident in pursuing with their offers. We appreciate your promptness and efficiency in completing this transaction for us.”

Irene Buhr, Thomasboro, IL

Knowledgeable and Professional

“We would like to thank one of your agents Maureen Cool, for the knowledgeable and professional way she represents you and her clients. Maureen is a definite asset to your office and she displays a unique energy in the handling of real estate. Maureen always kept us informed on the purchase of our property in Sebring, FL. Our closing went very smoothly and there were no surprises at the closing. Again, thank you for your assistance.”

Jerry and Patricia Sinkler, Sebring, FL

Listened to Our Concerns

“I loved that fact that you returned my calls promptly, you always let me know when you would be unavailable. You were not pushy or too aggressive. We always felt you had our best interests at heart. You listened and you did a great job!”

Kathryn Gavin, Searing, FL

Proactive and Accommodating

“We decided at the last minute to look at lake houses in the Lake Placid area. The weekend we had available would be the only time we could be in Lake Placid for several months. Our Local RE/MAX Realtor made several phone calls to Lake Placid/Sebring Realtors hoping to find one to help us and you were the only one who said yes without hesitation! You showed us several homes and while none worked out, you developed such a keen sense of what we needed that we later purchased a home sight unseen. We were very pleased with your service and would definitely use you again as well as refer you to others in the future. In fact we told our local realtor that you should be her referral source for the Lake Placid/Sebring area.”

Joe & Mary Lawrence, Wellington, FL

“Your services were well above what we expected. We will recommend your services to anyone without reservation.”

Mr. & Mrs. Raiman, Wilmington, IL

Sharp, Personable, and Responsive

"We interviewed several realtors to see who would be the best realtor for us to sell our home in Sebring, Fl. Maureen rose to the top. She priced our house right on (the "other" realtor low balled the price of the house) But Maureen was right on. We made $20,000 more because Maureen was our realtor. She's sharp, personable, responsive and knows her market. If you call Maureen to sell your home, you won't have to interview anyone else. Thank you Maureen. It was a pleasure working with you. On a side note....it sold relatively fast."

Patty and Len

The Only Realtor

"Maureen helped my 82 mother in her sale to move closer to me. Very impressive and professional service. She was like a good friend in listening and helping my mother go through the whole stressful process of listing and selling and then closing of her property. Maureen kept in direct contact with me through the whole process. I Highly Recommend Maureen as "the only realtor" that should be your choice if you need to sell or purchase a property in Sebring ."

Recommend Without Hesitation

"Maureen helped us in a very difficult situation by providing the local knowledge and contacts to get all the various steps taken care of in order to sell my Step Moms house after she passed. Living in Virginia and having no contacts put us at an extreme disadvantage, but Maureen was able tointroduce us to every contractor and workman needed to get the house ready for sale. Very easy to contact and responded to our needs in every situation. I would recommend her services without hesitation."

R. Klein

Made the Process Easy

"A couple of years ago Maureen helped us purchase our home in Sebring. What made it difficult is that at the same time we had to sell our Michigan home. Maureen made the process so easy for us, and our Michigan realtor told us how great Maureen was to work with. She faxed so many documents back and forthfor us it was unreal. Maureen hooked us up with a great lender and insurance agent. We were thrilled with how she worked for us, and would highly recommend her to anyone moving into the area like we did."

D. Noble

So Happy I Chose Maureen

"Maureen sold a house for me last summer. I chose Maureen as she is a certified residential specialist. Being from Canada, my Canadian realtor highly recommended I use a CIPS as they would know the tax laws for an international seller. So happy I chose Maureen, she not only is knowledgeable about the foreign ownership tax laws but answered our every concern and the sale was flawless!"

Job Well Done

"Thank you Maureen for doing a remarkable job with the sale of our Estate home. Your knowledge in the area and expertise in the market sold the house at a fair price in less than two weeks! I would certainly recommend you to anyone. Thank you for a job well done."

Diana

Very Highly Recommended

"I have dealt with Maureen many years and have always been very satisfied with her expertise an professionalism. I have bought two houses from her, and when we were ready to sell those houses she was the agent we used. She is very highly recommended by me."

Celia

Professional Real Estate Agent

"Maureen Cool is a professional real estate agent, while helping me find a home to buy in Sebring she demonstrated her knowledge of the real estate market. Even after closing on the purchase of my home, she assisted me with the settling in process. It is my privilege to recommend Mrs. Cool for any or all of your real estate needs."

John

Excellent Agent

"Maureen is very professional and personable. She clearly knows the market and how to market. She answered all my questions, followed up in a timely fashion after showings and gave good and practical advice. She listened to me which was greatly appreciated. The process was well organized, and she was always available to show the house. A very good experience! She does not give up and has a very positive attitude! I highly recommend her. She cares."

Pam

Quality Skills

"Maureen provided us with expertise and quality skills in the selling of our home. She kept us updated and answered in questions in a timely manner. She was very professional and I have already recommended her to someone else and will continue to do so."

Sue

Highly Recommend

"Maureen made the whole process of marketing and selling our home easy. Her knowledge and expertise of the Highlands area made the selling of our home less stressful. We had an offer that we excepted in two weeks. Thank you Maureen! If you're looking for a realtor to help sell your home we highly recommend Maureen Cool."

R. Miller

Cool Indeed

"Maureen Cool was cool indeed. She was professional and helped us to understand our situation. Our place was in a perfect location with wonderful view and nice yard--but the drive in was a little less than perfect! With her guidance and knowledge we were able to sell in a decent amount of time. I would recommend her to anyone needing this type of help. She was concerned about our needs and wanted us to get a fair price for the property."

A. McCaleb

Exceeded Our Wildest Expectations

"Dad's house had been empty for a year and we were not sure how to get it ready for sale, since we came from out of state. Maureen assessed the house and gave us clear advise, including local contractors, to assist us in getting the house ready to put on the market. We followed her advice to the letter, and she produced results on the first day on the market. She exceeded our wildest expectations. We recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true real estate professional."

A Pro-Active Agent

"Maureen has an eye for showing homes to their greatest potential. She also has a "skill" for matching homes to a buyer's needs and personalities. She is very knowledgeable on market values and a pro-active agent. Maureen is wonderful to work with and a blessing to know."

Jill

Stellar From Start to Finish

"Maureen's name was provided to us by a prospective local employer. The experience was stellar from start to finish. We were under some pressure to locate a suitable new home quickly. Based on the criteria we supplied, Maureen constructed a list of potential properties. Her sense of what we would find most desirable was evident from the initial list which we are able to reduce to a manageable number prior to the first, and really only, real estate visit in December. Upon arrival, Maureen dedicated as much time on a busy Saturday as we felt necessary to narrow significantly the finalists for purchase. Her knowledge of the local community is comprehensive. She provided, and continues to provide names of potential service persons."

Dan and Cathy

Stress Free Sale

"Maureen handled all aspects of the sale very professional, friendly and worked exactly within my guidelines for the sale . I was in another state and she made the sale of my property very convenient and stressfree!"

M. Mills

Recommend Without Hesitation

"Maureen Cool, negotiated our deal with expertise and her experience was invaluable to both sides. She demonstrated to the sellers agent why it would be beneficial to the sellers to accept our offer. It was a win, win for both sides. The seller made more money on the deal and we, the buyers, got the home and neighborhood we longed to be in. We couldn't be happier and would recommend Maureen Cool without hesitation."

Vivian and Nick

Extremely Knowledgeable

"Maureen helped me sell the house we bought through her two years ago. She did an exceptional job getting the house sold and providing expert advice on how to handle the negotiations with the potential buyers. Despite a couple hiccups with the buyers agent, she was proactive and able to steer the process to completion. I highly recommend Maureen whether you are buying or selling your home. Maureen is extremely knowledgeable of the central Florida area and a pleasure to work with. I selected her based on the positive reviews here at Zillow and was not disappointed. She worked hard for my family to find us the right home and to make sure that we closed on time. We were moving into the area from out of state, so she went the extra mile to help us locate all of the repairmen, cleaners, inspectors, etc to make the transition smoothly. In fact, I ended up buying the house she found for us without ever seeing it in person. Maureen has the connections and relationships in the local community to assist you as a home buyer or seller. I highly recommend her."

Kevin

Willing To Go the Extra Mile

"My husband and I contacted Maureen to show us one of her listings. From there, she showed us many homes. We were not an "easy" client as we were looking for a needle in a haystack. Maureen was very patient with us and willing to go the extra mile. She is extremely professional and easygoing. She knows the area very well and gives honest feedback. We will continue to work with Maureen on future transactions. I highly recommend her service."

Julie and Andy

Never Lost Her "Cool"

"Maureen is both very knowledgeable and professional.She is very pleasant to work with and makes you feel comfortable with the whole process. My property was quite frustrating since two offers fell through at the last minute. Maureen never lost her "Cool". I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Sebring."

Barb

Sold in 3 Days

"This is the 4th house our family has purchased through Maureen and all family members are very happy. She came over and told the improvements that needed to be made on the house. It was listed promptly and sold in 3 days. She kept us informed on how the process was going and far and the closing date. She came to the closing and was very helpful in explaining the process. We will be using Maureen in the future should the need arise."

Gerry and Francis

Wow!

"I had accepted a job out of state, but my house hadn't sold. I had known Maureen personally and knew of her integrity, but I had not seen her professionalism in play. Wow! She fielded several lame offers, and when a fair one came in, she advised me to jump on it - which I did. She was there during the inspection, lined up the contractors for those items that needed to be repaired, and handled the closing - all while I was out of state. I'd like to think that she would have only performed all of those tasks for a friend like me, but the truth is, Maureen will bend over backward for her client. Whether selling or buying, she will not lead you astray. She is honest, knowledgeable, market and technology savvy and will jump through hoops to make you a satisfied client - soon to be friend. No hesitation in my recommendation!"

Dee

A Pleasant Experience

"I moved to Highlands County from the Dallas area and needed a realtor who really knew the area and one that I could trust. Maureen was very professional, prompt, and went the extra mile to make my home purchase a pleasant experience. I highly recommend her for the sale or purchase of a home."

S. Stark

Made Selling Easy

"Maureen made the entire process of selling my mother's home easy. Living several hours from Sebring it was reassuring to know Maureen was handling every detail. I recommend her very highly."

Merrylee

Pleasure to Work With

"Maureen Cool is a pleasure to work with. She is very personable and such a treat to be around her. I'm sure I have found a new friend forever. Maureen sold our home for us and helped us find a new one. Everything went smoothly. I'll bet if I asked her she would come and help me unpack boxes. She is the best."

Joan and Billy

Professional, Positive, and Patient

"We recently moved to Highland County and Maureen was referred to us by the realtor in our old community. We could not have been happier. Maureen is professional, positive, patient and helped us through each stage of the buying process. We have been in our new home for about two months now and we are very thankful for the direction that Maureen provided in helping us find not only our home, but our neighborhood. We are very happy to recommend Maureen to others."

D. Stevens

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Realtor

"Maureen helped me sell my mother's house in Sebring, FL. I live in NY and Maureen was referred to me by my mother's former neighbors. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor.
